Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. NMC register: the number-matched record exists with the Degree cell "MBBS" and no Speciality cell (the Speciality cell is populated for a minority of the register). [nmc-sharma] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The responsible physician is named with role and NMC number on the home page, the About page and the Doctors page, tied to this address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Site-published NMC number 7619 matched by number in the Nepal Medical Council register. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit short_number) — matched by name] [nmc-sharma] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 20 September 2026 — no facility whose hf_name matches this clinic; the register returned rows for other Kathmandu facilities in the same sweep |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). The clinic names its operating entity with a legal form in its own page furniture; the company register is not machine-accessible (v1.2 closed-register anchor).

SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. The physician NMC number is published with its issuer named; no facility or company registration number is published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Completed lexicon scan of the clinic pages: several superlative claims without an issuer, no guarantee-class statement about a treatment outcome.

SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |

Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
